I finally got around to going through my friends/communities list, did some decluttering, and removed myself from the majority of communities I had joined, including many that are about decluttering! I found that almost all the communities fell into one of two categories: A) a topic that I am no longer interested in or B) haven’t been active in ( Read more... )

Fall is coming. Right now we're at that phase where it's cool in the mornings and evenings, but can still get up to 90 in mid-day. I'm back to wearing long pants (instead of capris) to work for the first time since May ( Read more... )

I had an awesome weekend! The only disappointment is that it didn't snow while we were there ( Read more... )

After today, just one day of work, then 4 days off...yay. So what's everyone doing for the holiday? We're going to Frank's family get-together thing on Thursday, then pretty much just normal weekend stuff for the rest of the time. I made an eye doctor appointment for Friday so I can veg out the rest of the day with my eyes dilated. It always takes ( Read more... )

The concert was fun! It was pretty much exactly what you would expect- all of the bands played "greatest hits" type sets, and some of the songs I hadn't heard in a long time. And apparently many folks took that "party like it's 1988" thing a *lot* more seriously than I did! Several people were dressed like they were going to an 80's costume party ( Read more... )

Yesterday was Mamma Mia- the stage production. It was really fun, pretty much what I expected. Before the show, we went to lunch at The Crepe Cellar. I had a turkey/brie/apple crepe...yum. The service was a little slow, which meant we didn't have time to order dessert, but we were so stuffed from the meal crepes that we didn't have room for it ( Read more... )

I'm watching the Red Sox-Braves game on TV. It's at Fenway, and then of course next weekend the Red Sox will be going to Atlanta, and those are the games we will be going to. This will be a short work week, I'll be off on Friday. Then next week will be super short- off Monday, working Tues-Thurs, but we get out 2 hours early on Thurs due to a ( Read more... )

I'm downstairs on the spare laptop Frank lets me use while I'm down here, so I can play on the internet when we're watching TV or whatever. Family Guy is on. Frank just said "You people from Kent, Connecticut have a warped sense of humor." Yesterday we watched the episode of Bill Maher with Seth MacFarlane. It was actually on a few weeks ago, but ( Read more... )

CruisingMy first cruise was actually when I was 13, on a cruise line that no longer exists, and most of the time when I'm listing my past cruises, I don't even include it. But I loved it and thought I would go on tons more. I ended not going on another one for over 20 years, but ( Read more... )

Note to self: Now I remember what I meant to do during the break- make more LJ icons...I'm getting bored of the ones I have now. Of course sometimes LJ shows whatever icon it likes, even if it's one I have never seen before in my life, so I guess that keeps things fun ( Read more... )
